Name: Capitola Prospective Parent Evening
Start: 2026-01-08T18:00:00-08:00
Location: Vin Vivant (115 San Jose Ave G, Capitola)

Kirby is an intentionally small, courageously different 6–12 school in Santa Cruz for intellectually curious students. Here, students are challenged without being hardened, supported without being coddled, and known not just by name, but by heart. We believe academic rigor and emotional belonging are not in conflict—they are the twin pillars of a truly transformative education. Learning at Kirby is personal, purposeful, and profoundly human. Students grow not by performing, but by becoming—more thoughtful, more capable, and more wholly themselves.
This is a casual, parent/guardian-only evening designed for open conversation. You'll have the chance to connect directly with Kirby's Head of School, Admissions Director, and current parents who can speak candidly about their own decision-making journeys.
